Guided Goddess meditation for Mabon, the Autumn equinox.

This is a guided meditation for you to follow during the time of Mabon on the wheel of the year. It doesn't need to be at Mabon it's just that have I have made it relevant to that point on the wheel of the year. However you could use this Goddess mediation anytime you feel it would be beneficial. You could even take it and adapt it or even write your own meditation. I have given this one a Pagan feel trying to make it feel as though you were perhaps someone waking up on the day of Mabon back in the time of our ancestors and attending a traditional equinox celebration. I hope you enjoy!

Today is the day of Mabon, the second of the three celebrations of the harvest on the Pagan wheel of the year. It is a
day to celebrate the wondrous bounty that we have been blessed with. Mabon, is the autumn equinox, it is a time when day and night are in perfect balance. It is time therefore for balancing all aspects of your life and for reconciling any opposites. You feel totally in balance today, all aspects of your health and happiness are being resolved and feel calm.

We give thanks to our Mother Goddess Gaia for all she provides for us
and ask her to bless us that the fertility of our land and projects may
continue.

Mabon is a day of much celebration and you awake today with a flutter of excitement in your heart looking forward to the wonderful day you have ahead of you.

Today you are going to see the sun rise before joining the
celebration and you thrill in anticipation of feeling nature’s powerful energy course
through your body.

You dress quickly and, carrying your wicker basket
of corn and other offerings, set off down the lane to the meadow. Your basket
is filled with the fruits and vegetables from your garden and a lovely Mabon loaf you made yesterday. It is just pre-dawn and the fields
are shrouded in a fine purple mist. This wonderful ethereal blanket feels cool
on your skin.As you walk you can
hear the birds singing their early morning chorus and the grass tickles your
feet and soaks your ankles as you brush past it. A rabbit scampers and hides, camouflaged among the
browns and greens.

You pass a field that
was planted last spring and remember the beautiful time you had there at
Beltane, dancing and singing around the maypole. That field is now full with
beautiful corn, ripe and dancing in the soft dawn breeze. The cornstalks are
tall, almost as tall as you and truly look like Goddesses dancing to their own
private melody. Their scent is sweet and is truly the smell of late summer. You
feel a shiver of anticipation for the wonderful ceremony of thanks that will
follow later on in the day to give thanks for the wonderful bountiful crop.

As you walk and
experience all these wonders of nature you begin to think about all that you
are grateful for and silently give thanks to our Mother Goddess, Gaia for all
that she provides for us. You give thanks for your family and friends and all
that is good in your life.

You continue walking
along the lane with it’s beautiful hedgerows brimming with life, lost in
thought and immersed in the beauty surrounding you.

Eventually
the lane opens up to a wonderful wide open field, the sun is nearing the
horizon now. Others have gathered here now in silent anticipation of this
wondrous event. You smile at the gathered crowcrowd and then take
your place, putting your basket of offerings at your feet. You then turn to
face the east, palms outstretched. You feel your feet firmly grounded as though
they have grown roots right down into the earth itself. Your palms are
outstretched ready to reach towards the rays of the magickal sun and your crown
chakra is open and receiving the wonderful celestial energy.

The anticipation of the
sun’s rising is nothing compared to the actual event and the whole crowd gives
out a silent gasp of wonder as the golden red ball slowly begins to rise. First
just a tiny sliver but then very quickly a completely round and absolutely
perfect sphere. It truly is a magickal moment. You are at one with nature. Your
feet are truly grounded and your whole body is filled with a pure golden light
from our magickal sun. You are at one with the God and the Goddess. Listen to
any messages you may receive at this time.

You spend some time at one with the God and Goddess, soaking in the powerful sun energy as it rises high in the sky. You then turn to enjoy the rest of the day and join in the happy celebrations. You feel happy and relaxed, you are grateful for all that you have in your life and you are looking forward to an Autumn filled with love and hope.
